Aroha – Ela Tukauhaua

When I first came here I was a bit shy but when I came I knew some people so I felt all good so I started painting and I felt all good. The first time I was painting a Maori lady she was really sad. She was named Aroha.

Anyway she dress and had a Maori coat on with a pounamu stone. She was crying because she was thinking about her friends because she hasn’t seen them and that’s why she cried.
